When you have five little kids, you're not going to open Mindy Kaling's latest book. You're playing with your kids.

I grew up in a Catholic family in the Midwest. And I knew people of different faiths and people that were atheists and people that were agnostic.

Television's very much a writer's medium, as it probably should be, but if you're not the writer, then as the performer, you defer to that. It's just kind of how it's constructed. Is there some leeway? Yeah. But I also don't want to come across as a jerk.

Now don't get me wrong, I love animals, but I like eatin' 'em more... fun to pet, better to chew.

I'm bald, blind and pale. I'm like a gigantic recessive gene.

Life is a little easier for attractive people. Think about it: if a stranger smiles at you and they’re attractive, you think, ‘Oh, they’re nice,’ but if a stranger’s ugly, you’re like, ‘What do they want? Get away from me, weirdo.

My faith is very personal. It's not something that I want to project on other people.
